According to the concept of length contraction, what happens to the length of an object as it approaches the speed of light and

then slows down, eventually coming to a stop? It is always observed as contracting. It is always observed as the same length. It is observed as expanding and then contracting back to its original length. It is observed as contracting and then expanding back to its original length.

When an object moves its length contracts in the direction of motion. The faster it moves the shorter it gets in the direction of motion.
The object in this question moves and then stops moving. So it's length first contracts and then expands to its original length when the motion stops.
The speed doesn't have to be anywhere near the speed of light. When the object moves its length contracts no matter how fast or slow it's moving.

Explain how the plants of a tropical rain forest contribute to the characteristic hot, humid weather associated with the area. U
Talja [164]

Answer: The atmosphere of trophic rainforest is hot and humid due to high rate of transpiration.

Explanation:

The tropical rainforest is a biome which exhibit rich biodiversity of plants and animals. The average temperatures in this region remain high with warm summer. It remains frost free. The soil is nutrient deficient. Due to hot temperature the rate of transpiration remains high as a result the concentration of the water vapors remain high. This is responsible for increasing the humidity in the atmosphere also this region receives appreciable amount of rainfall annually. The average rainfall range is 200-450 centimeters.

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a c
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

  • Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.
  • According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.
  • This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N  (1)

  • In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N  (2)

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

  • This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:
  • Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)
